Chicago White Sox vs Philadelphia Phillies

Chicago has the worst record in the majors along with the worst run differential (minus-65). The offense is last in runs scored, on-base percentage, and slugging, plus just 26th in steals. The pitching is almost as bad, 26th in ERA (4.83) with a bullpen that ranks 23rd in WHIP. The White Sox are 40-93 as an underdog and 10-34 in April games. Philadelphia is on a 9-3 run and plays its 10th consecutive home contest. They've routed Chicago in the first two games of this series, 7-0 and 9-5. Aaron Nola (3.47 ERA) is on the mound while the pitching staff is seventh in the majors with a 3.46 ERA. With Chicago 24-49 after two or more straight road games, look for a series sweep by the home team. Play Philadelphia.  

Chicago heads out on the road after a rare win. They squeezed out a 2-1 victory over Kansas City at home with an offense that is last in runs scored, on-base percentage, and slugging, plus just 26th in steals. The pitching is almost as bad, 24th in ERA (4.46) with a bullpen that ranks 26th in WHIP. The White Sox are 10-32 in April games and 19-42 after a win. Philadelphia is on a 9-4 run and plays its eighth consecutive home contest. Starter Spencer Turnbull (1.80 ERA) is holding batters to a .164 average. With Chicago 9-25 versus NL teams with an on-base percentage of .325 or lower, back home field. Play Philadelphia as a Max Play. 

They have been struggling to get games in for this series due to the weather, but will try and get this one in today. The Phillies are off to a really slow start at 6-10, and the White Sox are a disappointing 6-10 themselves. The Phillies have not fared well on the road of late as they are 18-29 in their last 47 road games. This will be the second city, and fifth game of a long road trip for the Phillies and with plus money at home, I have to ride the White Sox. Take Chicago.

Bailey Falter (0-2, 4.80) is expected to go in the second half of today's doubleheader and the Sox will counter with Lucas Giolito (0-1, 6.00). The Phillies have had a tough start at 6-10, but right with them is the Chicago White Sox at 6-10. The White Sox are 1-4 over their last five games and the Phillies are 2-4 in their last six, pending the results of the early one. The Phillies have not played here since 2016, so most of the roster has not hit or pitched in this park. The Sox are 29-14 on the run line vs. teams that are struggling and I'm looking for them to nail down another one here. Make the play on the Chicago White Sox, run line.
